| Sumario: | The objective of this study is to identify processes of evaluation of physical condition that have used field tests in a population with intellectual disabilities from a documentary review of studies that have been carried out between 2009 and 2019. This is a descriptive research focused on the literature review carried out in Ebsco, Embase, Pubmed, Science Direct, and Scopus databases, with the following inclusion criteria: 1) Languages: English, Spanish, and Portuguese, 2) Target populations: pediatric <18 years, 3) Type of access: free full access. Spain and United States are leaders in the production of literature about physical fitness related to health in these populations. In Latin America, Brazil leads the research in this area. Physical qualities such as cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength, and endurance are the most important areas of interest. Eurofit and Brockport Battery are the most used tests to assess physical condition. The present study allows us to recognize the different existing tests and measures to assess physical fitness in a population with intellectual disabilities, to develop a prescription and design of physical exercise programs. The Eurofit and Brockport tests were the most used with the population with disabilities.
